What do you do if you need a French guy on weekdays?

Redhat 5.2 in 1998. I think I bought a box set from CompUSA.

Totally respect you for saying you don't get it. Way better to admit what you don't know.

In a vacuum, you would be correct that things falling to earth would just keep accelerating until they hit the ground. But we have air which slows things down. Everything that falls in earths atmosphere reaches it's terminal velocity if it falls from a high enough height.

One way to think of it is to think about how anything falling in air has to push the air below it out of the way to fall. If I just jump out of a plane, I'm going to accelerate to a velocity that will likely kill me. Now if I bring a parachute, I'm bringing more weight, but I'm also able to push against a lot more air and the amount of air I push against will slow me enough that even though I'm still falling, my terminal velocity is low enough that I can survive.

The more air something can push against in comparison to it's mass, the lower it's terminal velocity. That being said everything falling in our atmosphere will reach a point where gravity can't pull it through the air resistance any faster. The force of gravity and air resistance are balanced. That is it's terminal velocity.

I've heard prayer warrior since I was a kid in the 80s. The idea is that the prayer warrior is fighting a spiritual battle instead of a physical one. How is it a battle? Well when they start praying, Satan will start to attack with doubts and fears. So it's a fight to preserve and continue praying.

All garbage as far as I'm concerned, but to them is has nothing to do with changing the meaning of words. It's the best way they have to describe how hard it is to pray for hours on end for multiple days when you have a brain telling you that this is silly.

You've got to XFCE it MATE. It makes you a nerd like the rest of us.

I do like ideas that are ridiculous and not practical. :-)

Not if it's ground based and pointing up at a reflector that spreads it's light out.

[-] bpcomp@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

So how many lumens? And no mention of the cri.

I wonder how it would work to mount a convex reflector to the tower and then shine a massive LEP at it.

You know Greg hates football.

Fair enough. Seems like it could be programmed in but I don't know if it requires more memory or processing than is standard for flashlight controllers. But if it's a custom light, then you can design your control board to have more umpf and use a customized firmware.

I don't know about fan control but Anduril does support RGB aux lights. Here is the Anduril manual showing how to change RGB colors of the aux led.

I edc the i1R2 from Olight and the Sofirn SP10 Pro. I'd say the SP10 Pro gets the most use both in times on and hours used.

Love Anduril (lemmy.world)

So my Sofirn SP10 Pro was freaking out today. I don't think it was some weird mode I got into but whatever it was, I couldn't get out of that messed up state. As I was going to bed I realized and Anduril is awesome and there must be some reset procedure. Looked it up and had my flashlight working again and back in advanced UI in under a minute.

I really appreciate ToyKeeper and the awesome programming she has done.
